From urinary and central venous catheters to dialysis, suction, and guidewires, polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl) enables safe, flexible, and reliable solutions for healthcare. Its unique combination of strength and biocompatibility makes it essential for vascular access, fluid drainage, and minimally invasive procedures.
Key Applications of Catheters and Guidewires
Central Venous Catheters
Vinyl central venous catheters (CVCs) facilitate the safe and efficient administration of medications, fluids, and blood products, ensuring reliable vascular access for critically ill patients.
Dialysis Catheters
PVC (vinyl) dialysis catheters enable efficient blood filtration during renal therapy, providing a durable and biocompatible option for patients undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Guidewires
Guidewires incorporate PVC (vinyl) to provide flexibility and support during catheter placement in vascular and non-vascular procedures, ensuring smooth and controlled navigation for minimally invasive interventions.
Urinary Catheters
PVC (vinyl) urinary catheters ensure effective bladder drainage for patients requiring short- or long-term care, providing a reliable and flexible solution for managing urinary retention and incontinence.
Suction Catheters
Vinyl suction catheters effectively clear airways by removing secretions and fluids, supporting respiratory care in emergency and intensive care settings.
